16. TC2 – Timer/Counter Type 2
16.1 Features
• Eight eight-bit timer/counters
– Four Low-byte timer/counter
– Four High-byte timer/counter
• Up to eight compare channels in each Timer/Counter 2
– Four compare channels for the low-byte timer/counter
– Four compare channels for the high-byte timer/counter

• Can be used with the event system for count control
16.2 Overview
There are four Timer/Counter 2. These are realized when a Timer/Counter 0 is set in split mode.
It is then a system of two eight-bit timer/counters, each with four compare channels. This results
in eight configurable pulse width modulation (PWM) channels with individually controlled duty
cycles, and is intended for applications that require a high number of PWM channels.
The two eight-bit timer/counters in this system are referred to as the low-byte timer/counter and
high-byte timer/counter, respectively. The difference between them is that only the low-byte
timer/counter can be used to generate compare match interrupts and events. The two eight-bit
timer/counters have a shared clock source and separate period and compare settings. They can
be clocked and timed from the peripheral clock, with optional prescaling, or from the event sys-
tem. The counters are always counting down.
PORTC, PORTD, PORTE and PORTF each has one Timer/Counter 2. Notation of these are
TCC2 (Time/Counter C2), TCD2, TCE2 and TCF2, respectively.
